Postman went from a nice tool to an almost virus in just a few years. It's crazy that anyone still uses it.

I'm currently using Bruno (https://www.usebruno.com/)

They have an open format for API collections: https://www.opencollection.com/

I made the switch to Bruno years ago after getting hounded by Postman’s sales team and Insomnia started requiring an account.

Works well enough without getting in my way.

Does anyone know if Bruno is not on the same path as Postman?

They have a "Pricing" page, so it's a matter of time before it enshittifies. But it's still nice as of now.

Switched to Bruno myself, and moved my team to it last year as well. Vast improvement over late stage Postman.
